SportsGauff faces racial abuse controversy after replayed point at China Open

Coco Gauff said she received an “insane” amount of racist abuse online after beating China’s Sun Xinran at the China Open. Gauff had stopped a crucial first-set point because of a flickering advertising board; after review, the umpire ordered a replay, prompting backlash. Gauff said she followed the rules and later apologised to Sun for the situation.
